The epic novel "The Tale of Genji," by Shikibu Murasaki in the Heian period, remains an immortal masterpiece passed down through the ages for over a thousand years. During the Edo period, Ryutei Tanehiko adapted "The Tale of Genji" into a series of volumes called "Nise Murasaki Inaka Genji," which became a bestseller. The illustrations for "Nise Murasaki Inaka Genji" were created by the third-generation artist Utagawa Toyokuni (Kunisada). This exhibition introduces ukiyo-e prints based on "Nise Murasaki Inaka Genji" and its sequels, along with Toyokuni's "Ima Genji Nishiki-e Awase," portraying "The Tale of Genji" from the Edo period's perspective.
